Summary
Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo from 6.0 through 6.5.2.202603a, built with BSD raw socket and IPv6 support, is affected. The IPv6 raw send path does not check whether its destination-table add succeeded (CWE-252). When the table is full, sending on a raw IPv6 socket dereferences a NULL pointer, and a remote sender can fill the table with ICMPv6 Packet Too Big messages to crash the sending thread.

Description from the CNA
In Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo versions 6.0 through 6.5.2.202603a, built with BSD raw socket and IPv6 support, the IPv6 raw send path uses the destination-table entry it adds without checking that the add succeeded. When the destination table is full and an off-link destination is reached through a default router whose neighbour cache entry is unknown, sending on an IPv6 raw socket with header inclusion dereferences a NULL pointer; a remote sender can fill the table, for example with ICMPv6 Packet Too Big messages, and crash the sending thread.
